2016 MLB Regular-Season Thread

Cueto did it to himself. He decided he needed vengeance after the Phillies' starter hit three guys -- two with soft curveballs, all three unintentional -- and after Cueto nailed Franco in the ribs, the wheels came off. Yeah, the strike zone got a bit tighter -- kind of par for the course as the pitcher penalty in that situation -- but he wasn't sharp either.

If he just keeps spinning groundballs up there, he probably goes 7 IP/1 ER again. But he had to be macho man.

 

Didn't see the parts you mentioned. Turned it on when Franco was at bat in that tying inning.

He and Kershaw will probably throw 2-hitters next time out.

 

Yet further reasons I don't wager on sporting events, who bets that Kuhl making his debut against Kershaw wins? Hellickson v. Baumgarner? Sheez. Giants gave Cueto a 5-1 lead and he coughs it up.

Giants by 8 over the Dodgers on 6/27; hard to believe. Dodgers lose even though my favorite Dodger, Justin Turner is heating up (always looks like a tough out).

 

Marlins a half-game better than the Dodgers. Good for Donnie Baseball.

 

The Phillies-Giants series was another trip into baseball bizzaro world. Philly beats Bumgarner in opener, Giants rally for wins Saturday and Sunday. Doing it with a couple of regulars out as well. Schedule is favorable through the break.

The Dodgers? Easy to say they haven't replaced Greinke in the rotation, but I think we're going to see some conflict between the front office and the manager some time this season. And the pen is still a disaster area.

 

Indians win ninth straight. Haven't lost since before Cavs clinched NBA title.

 

Outside of Kershaw, the Dodgers suck.

 

Bumgarner's last two starts: 14.1 innings, four earned runs, 10 hits, three walks and 15 Ks. Both losses.

 

Now put those goalposts back where placed them before cjericho caught yet another flaw in your argument on this topic.

I still think you should just admit you are trolling the thread rather than just making yourself look clueless over and over, but to each his own.

 

You're dumb.

 

Spoken like somebody who knows he has made an ass of himself, but wants to keep on trolling.

 

Nah, he's right.
